Read full description

Dues is a school planner that works for the whole family - a calm Today view for students, and a non-creepy week glance for parents. Built for the kid trying to keep up with classes, and the parent who just wants to know if Thursday is going to be a tough one. FOR STUDENTS • One Today screen with what's due now, next up, and what you've already crushed • Add assignments in seconds • Classes you create yourself, with colors that make the week scannable • Sunday-night planning view: see the week ahead at a glance • Gentle nudges when something's piling up - not nagging FOR PARENTS • Your kid's week as a digest, not a surveillance feed • Counts that matter: overdue, due today, due this week • A private notes space to keep track of conversations and context • Suggestions you can send - supportive, not demanding • For under-13 kids: an access code links your phone to theirs DESIGNED WITH BOUNDARIES Parents see what's on their kid's plate. They don't see every keystroke or completion. Students own their own planner. Parents own the support relationship. That's it. NO ADS, NO TRACKING Dues doesn't show ads. Dues doesn't sell your data. Dues doesn't track you across other apps. Your account info signs you in and syncs your dues across your devices. That's all. PRIVACY-FIRST FOR KIDS Under-13 self-signup is blocked. A verified parent creates the child account and stays linked. We collect the minimum we need to make the app work. GETTING STARTED • Sign in with Apple, Google, or email • Add a class or two • Drop in this week's assignments • The planner does the rest Made for middle schoolers, high schoolers, and the parents trying to keep up.
